Into the Psyche of Noisy Dove

Here’s an interesting thing I was pondering this evening. Here’s how it started.

I was taking a little stroll over to Meijer. It was about 11:30pm, a bit early for the family of skunks I often see along the way late at night – but regardless my mind was primed to avoid skunks. Well, I walk under a lamp – head on a swivel – and catch my shadow coming along behind me. Of course, the rush of data that flowed didn’t say it was my shadow until about a half a second later.

The first ‘packet’ of data, the first 1/10 of a second, said this: Skunk following close. Inhale, brace for takeoff, must open distance to max skunk ass range.

This packet was quickly overridden by the next: To big to be a skunk. Likely a large black dog. To close to run. Shield with Meijer reusable bag.

Right away another package comes down: Big black dog moving at equal pace. Not displaying aggression. Relax all muscles. Must reciprocate.

And then: Big black dog still following in non-aggressive manor, possibly frightened it with initial metaphysical response. Remedy. Broadcast – Friend Friend, I am strong and kind, friend friend.

Then finally: Well fuck me sideways. Sorry about that adrenals. False alarm. Watch for skunks.

I just found it interesting how my mind worked. It was funny how I tried communicating with the “dog” subliminally. The fact that I told my muscles to instantly relax my muscles in order to calm the dog tells me a little about how dog’s perceive people. I’m of the conclusion that dogs seem to have a 6^th sense because they use their first five so well. That must be one way I convey dominance and kindness to dogs.
